After exercising, locals then spend a leisurely afternoon at the Wildflour Restaurant and bakery for some comfort food and conversation.
For a little more action, residents can walk or drive one mile to the north to the downtown area that has a number of eateries, including Blue 5 and Martin's Downtown Bar and Grill. The Science Museum of Western Virginia and the Taubman Museum of Art provide intellectual and artistic stimulation.
